Since you are done with Gradius and Parodius, now play Salamander.
>>12239663no. i aint a faggot
>>12239665Why would play Salmander make you into a fag
no one except you played parodius before salamander.
>>12239671Horizontal/vertical scrolling shmup = bisexuality. Didn't you know, anon?
>>12240059>Didn't you know, anon?You see not everyone sticks their dick into flying ships
Currently playing some DDP, still can't 1ALL it Is there a good shmup related discord?
>>12240495Lol no>DDP 1-ALLUse bombs
Gonna play Xevious, how do you know when a loop is completed?
>>12240495>Is there a good shmup related discord?Literally just the original shmup discord with like 3000 people in it
>>12240782He said "good", no such a thing exists
Is Salamander 2 notoriously easier than 1?
>>12240792Its objectively a lot better than these threads
>>12240796Then stay there
>>12240805I have it open right now.
>>12240807Good for you, but you might close this tab instead
>>12240805>>12240808The presence of subhuman shitposters is one more reason to keep posting here. Never let them have their way.
>>12240808I'm just making sure anon's question is answered and he's not being misled by disingenuous crabs who want to keep him in the bucket and ignorant. If you have a problem with that, then be better than a discord. That's a (You) problem.
>>12240814>If you have a problem with that, then be better than a discordAny thread on /vr/ is probably that really, you don't exactly need to try too hard for that.
>play DonPachi for the first time>almost 1CC it once I realize they refill your bombs at the end of each stagewhich system do you think is more forgiving: bomb refill or the modern autobomb but it's weaker than using the bomb manually? which do you think is more fun?
>>12240826DFK1.5 system is more forgiving I think, but there should be an option to disable it exactly like BL did.
Bomb!
>>12240795Salamander 2 only has two loops. Salamander 1 has infinite loops and the difficulty increases until loop 4.It's hard to compare their difficulty for survival. Salamander 2 gets really tough if youre going for score.
Careful to not fall down during the S*ga S*stem spam again
Play Gradius and Salamander right now!
Tried credit feeding and rewinding through the arcade version of Parodius and remember it seeming physically impossible. While beating the NES ports of Gradius and Salamander without continuing was a piece of cake.
>>12243737Arcade games low key hit different fr
The only SHMUP I have ever loved so dearly that Ive continue to play it since my childhood. I first played it on the NES and then bought a TurboGrafx16 just for this game. I bought a PC Engine so I f a play the sequel, Dragon Sabre. Now I am in search of a genuine coinop
Doesn't look like /vr/ is shmupping much recently.
>>12243779Rayforce, easy choice
Am I just skill issued or is the C ship in SDOJ considerably harder to use than the other two because of its speed? Outrunning bullets with A blew my mind
>Is there a good shmup related discord?This board is dead
>>12246446A-S is better in SDOJ because for some weird reason the shot does more damage than any laser in the game, on top being faster and all of that.But you will be fine as long you don't use B
>>12246448Maybe anon just wants more constant conversation, but the answer is still no, these threads are as good as they come.
Any controller rec for playing shmups in Switch 2? Pro 2 dpad is trash
I mostly play console shumps as that's what I grew up on, I recently tried some bullet hells, and I had some fun but goddamn, these games are so involved. I appreciate that in a hardcore way, but I feel like to really get good at these you would have to put a ton of fucking time in that I'm not willing to. Console shmups are much comfier imo, they don't require to do take them up as a second job, and are just more fun imo. I fucking love Compile. Anyway thank you for reading my blogpost
>>12246554I think only really your first danmaku will take a lot of time to get, then you become used to their quirks, especially if you are talking about games from the same devs like CAVE
>>12246469>these threads are as good as they come.Fortunately this is the polar opposite of what is true
>>12246915If you thought that you wouldn't feel the need to come here every single time. Much like I never thought about joining your discord
>>12246921Can you tell me what's wrong with the big shmup discord everyone uses? I think1) you don't play shmupsAnd2) you're one of those mentally ill people who gets thrown off every discord server
>>12246924Not even bothering to deny it huh.Stay there if it's so good then
>>12246925Can't answer the question, huh? Why tell a straight up lie? If you can't explain why the discord is bad, then how can it be bad? This is exactly why these threads are bad, because it's full of mentally ill liars that just occupy this general 24/7 to manipulate people.
>>12246930t. discordfag literally monitoring a thread he doesn't like only to say it sucks supposedly
>>12240814>disingenuous crabs who want to keep him in the bucket and ignorant.I love when this place tries to talk about other online communities and ends up just describing this place.
>>12246936You cant name a single reason why the discord is bad, only desperately beg people not to so much as LOOK at it. Meanwhile, these threads are finding new lows with each passing day. Now we've gone from danmaku being too hard so let's pretend to play dad shmups, to those being too hard so let's only pretend to play console shmups you can 1cc with 30 minutes of investment. Where is the discussion? This is just trash. Even the /v/ threads are better, when you're not in them anyways.
>>12246943You are the only one begging here. I'm just wondering why you feel the need to come here as much if that discord of yours is so great.
>>12246949I was hoping to find some shmup discussion, but whoops looks like it's all shit instead!
Red pill me on Shikigami 2 what’s it like for scoring will I like it?
>>12247981The scoring is using the charged attack(holding shot button) whule being near bullets as much as possibile, and also breaking boss parts before the main body
Bomb it is.Make sure next OP has a console shmup in the picture.
>>12249009>next OPEh idk, I'm not sure it makes any sense to keep the threads up until somebody wants to talk about shmups again.
What are some truly shitty shmups? This seems like a genre that's hard to fuck up, so I really can't remember anything truly terrible (think Black Touch 96). Even the "infamous" NES Silver Surfer was tolerable, just a Gradius clone with a euro hitbox on the player and few powerups (but really fucking good music).
>>12249217Pretty easy to fuck it up actually, just look at euroshmups.
>>12249217Planet Joker on Saturn is some real Dogshit.
>>12240059So...what does playing viewpoint or zaxon make me?
https://discord.gg/ZDxQKzEgWill stream some DDP poorly if anyone wants to watch
>>12249343At least post a Twitch link you faggot, no one's gonna join your CP honeypot.
>>12249343Seconding using Twitch or any other stream service that you can just watch easily.
>>12246515Dunno about switch 2 but I use the 8bitdo m30 (with 2.4hz or whatever it is) Bluetooth and it's pretty good for my switch.
>>12246930lol, the "shmup discord" had more discussions on hrt schedules and covid boosters than shmups
>>12249549I'm somehow not surprised to learn it's trannies.You can tell from trying to force everyone to go along with their opinions and calling anything else gaslighting or whatever.
Play Prehistorik Isle
>>12249552Why reply to yourself, anyone can see in 2 seconds how full of shit you are
>>12243737If Gradius III had been ported to the Mega Drive or Amiga, it would still have the same quantity of enemies and bullets in each stage as the arcade and probably less slowdown too.
>>12246554>they don't require to do take them up as a second jobNeither do bullet hell games. People play them because they're genuinely fun, and if you disagree nobody is forcing you to get into them. Still, if you're into Compile games chances are that you would like Raizing too, since it's the same staff.
>>12249217>This seems like a genre that's hard to fuck upThis is the easiest genre to fuck up. Lots of developers, mostly western ones who had no clue about arcade game design tried to make shmups under the wrong impression that they're "simple" and produced the worst shit games in existence. Action 52 is the final stage of that.
>>12240059What is the futanari of SHMUPs then?
What’s the shmup irc channel again?
>>12239663R-type should have been next after Gradius
>>12250046Bullet hell looks really intimidating to somebody who doesn't play them, I would know since that's how it was for me back then, and how it is whenever I showed them to other people.In reality though, they aren't too fundamentally different than other shmups and many times I thought they were a lot more fair than all these games with sniper bullets or Gradius syndrome.
>>12250435Dual screen vertical
>>12249780i didn't reply to myself, but im replying to you now to let you know no ones joining your faggot discord
Forget dipcord, IRC, or whatever.Hop on Fightcade and play Twinkle Star Sprites instead.
>>12250692I often go to fightcade to play coop, but I refuse to play VS stuff. Everytime I try to jump into it I end up getting stomped by 10k hours playtime players and called shitter. I know that, cus I created a few alt accounts to play 3rd strike, Magical Drop 3 and TSS and it's so funny how many players sit there just fishing for newbies.
>>12251072Not much you can do about it, the players with most hours will also be the most likely to be online at any given moment. Hopefully you get lucky enough and eventually find another anon who just started end up playing with you.
